Abstract: A complete classification of additive rank-one nonincreasing maps on hermitian matrices over Galois field ▫$GF(2^2)$▫ is obtained. This field is special and was not covered in a previous paper. As a consequence, some known applications, like the classification of additive rank-additivity preserving maps, are extended to arbitrary fields. An application concerning the preservers of hermitian varieties is also presented.

Abstract: Let ▫$\sigma$▫ be a fixed non-identical permutation on ▫$k$▫ elements. Additive bijections ▫$T$▫ on the matrix algebra ▫$M_n(\mathbb{F})$▫ over a field ▫$\mathbb{F}$▫ of characteristic zero, with the property that ▫$\rm{rk} (A_1...A_k) = \rm{rk} (A_{\sigma(1)}...A_{\sigma(k)})$▫ implies the same condition on the ▫$T$▫ images, are characterized. It is also shown that the surjectivity assumption can be relaxed, if this property is preserved in both directions.
